Trump wants to end birthright citizenship, and today’s ruling is a step in that direction. This is central to his agenda to target immigrant families, causing chaos in our communities. Democrats will continue to fight back—through the courts, in Congress, and at the ballot box.

Don’t get it twisted—today’s SCOTUS ruling makes it harder for courts to fully block dangerous policies like Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship. Once again, they’re bending the law to serve him instead of defending the Constitution. It’s shameful.

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Something the Mamdani win demonstrates is the extent to which the reigning cadre of ancient, establishment, centrist Dems think it’s more important to be on good terms with their GOP colleagues than it is to represent their own voters, and how thoroughly sick of this literally everyone is.

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

Trump struck Iran without any authorization of Congress. We need to immediately return to DC and vote on Rep. Thomas Masie and my War Powers Resolution to prevent America from being dragged into another endless Middle East war.

Good morning. If the the Senate passes the Republican budget bill, 40% of American families - those with lower and middle incomes - will LOSE money. They will become poorer. But the richest families will get an average $270,000 tax cut. Because they only care about the rich.

The President does not have the authority to make this decision. There is no imminent threat to America from Iran. He cannot take this action without congressional authorization. I will not vote to give him that authority, and I likely represent the majority of Congress.

I'm loving all the videos of yesterday's protest but especially this wedding party that decided to join in

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

Disney's big AI lawsuit includes some very damning images: aftermath.site/disney-univers...

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

I couldn't remember Marc Andreessen's name but luckily google still works sometimes

Good sleeps, y’all. See you tomorrow. #nokings

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

We cannot move on from what happened yesterday. A Senator being roughed up and handcuffed for trying to ask a question is what you see in a DICTATORSHIP. Our country is at a crossroads and we need EVERY American to stand up to defend freedom, democracy and our Constitution.

What happened to Senator @padilla.senate.gov yesterday was appalling. In America, we don’t silence or handcuff people who disagree with you.

We see regularly scheduled articles about why Bluesky is bad. But what about the obvious point that Twitter is Elon's Machine for Fascism and it's breaking reporters' brains? I decided to write it. Reporters need to get off Elon's Twitter

We will not cower, even in the face of Trump’s crackdown on dissent. Join tomorrow’s nationwide peaceful protests for #NoKings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Video Proves DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s Top Deputy Lied About Senator Being Forcibly Removed By Federal Agents www.mediaite.com/politics/vid...

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.   If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

An MSNBC anchor just definitively claimed Padilla didn't identify himself when video clearly shows he did. So fucking irresponsible. This is how lies spread.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

“Donald Trump is a failed negotiator who has completely lost control and credibility in every region in which he claims to be a peacemaker.”

Folks. Check your feeds. It's done

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

What’s next, brown shirts? What do Republican colleagues have to say? At long last, colleagues, have you no sense of decency?

Hello, today is my Birthday! ✨And the best gift for an artist is a retweet of his artworks 🍃🌿

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Auctioning off my original Jackalweres painting! This is my first time running an auction on bsky so fingers crossed it works out alright. COMMENT BELOW TO BID - REPLY TO LAST BIDDER TO RAISE The shipping cost is included in the price (from the UK to anywhere).

Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol. Hundreds of dangerous felons who brutally beat police officers with impunity were then pardoned by the President on his first day in office. Don’t ever lecture America about law and order.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Uline's owners are the 2nd biggest political donors to Trump, so found a non-MAGA alt rec'd on Reddi: EcoEnclose. For shipping boxes for original comic art, so I got EXACTLY the size I wanted. It's half the price once you add in shipping to my house from Uline. EcoEnc $120.32 vs Uline $238.38.

Pope Leo XIV says his papal name was partially inspired by the looming challenges of a world increasingly influenced by AI. During his papacy, Leo XIII maintained a dedication to social issues and workers rights after much of the world had just been reshaped by the Industrial Revolution.

Since my animal art has been well received lately it seems like an appropriate time for a reminder that I take commissions! Reposts super duper appreciated 🙏❤️ #petart #animalart
